Here is an estimation on how your credit report and score is affected: Every time you miss a payment or are late you credit score decreases anywhere from 10 up to 20 points for each debt (every month). Then once this account is sold to a collection agency, or transfered to the creditors collection department you are now in a "default" status; which decreases your score even more. Your best bet is to save at least 30% of the balance owed (after the vehicle has been sold), and settle on this debt for that amount. This will help you in the long run... Good Luck!

VERY MUCH affected. You AND Pop will be expected to pay the balance due after the lender sells the truck. Try to sell it yourself.
The co-signer will also have a repossession showing on their credit as well. The co-signer is just as legally responsible for the car as the person they signed for.
